Student feedback is important to me, and assessments are one way to obtain that feedback. I think that with assessments, students are provided the opportunity to relate their thoughts and opinions about the course material and delivery methods. Importantly however, the learning assessment questions must lead to answers which are measurable, and the questions should be correlated with objectives and goals outlined for the course. An assessment should allow a brief "non-measurable" comment for the students, to express generalized likes or dislikes about the course. Student likes and dislikes should not weight too heavily on the instructor; there remains the need to substantiate any serious student complaints or grievances about the instructor. Finally, the instructors should be able to utilize the results of the assessments to improve upon their strategies and methods for teaching. Incorporating assessment results into future instruction is not an easy task. Does anyone have a few suggestions on how to accomplish this?
